Grilled Chicken with Avocado & Fresh Veggies

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lime juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let them sit for at least 20-30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator) for the flavors to develop.
3. Preheat the grill (or grill pan) over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

2. Prepare the Veggies and Avocado:

1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced avocados, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell pepper.
2. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and toss gently to coat the veggies. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add fresh cilantro on top for extra flavor.

3. Assemble the Dish:

1. Place the grilled chicken on a plate, either whole or sliced.
2. Spoon the fresh avocado and veggie mixture over the chicken or serve it on the side.
3. Optionally, drizzle with extra lemon juice or olive oil for more flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with a side of quinoa, brown rice, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
• Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra richness.

Tips for Success:

• Perfect Grilled Chicken: Make sure not to overcook the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s perfectly done.

• Vegetable Variations: Feel free to swap in other veggies like zucchini, corn, or spinach depending on what you have on hand.
